Week 8 Worm Gear Challenge

Objective of challenge: To perform a transient structural analysis on a worm gear assembly, to cut the gear by half so as to bring the model within limits. Rotate the worm as to get to almost end of the half cut and find out results of Equivalent stress, Equivalent elastic strain and the total deformation in the model.

Simulation setup configuration as follows:

1. Model as follows

2. Part names are specified as

3. Material applied are

4. Connections configured as

5. Mesh size is configured as

6. Analysis settings are configured as

Analysis settings from step 2 to step 55 same settings are configured.

Transient simulation results are as follows:

Description	Case 1
Equivalent stress	Max 1757.2 Mpa
Equivalent elastic strain	Max 0.0089017
Total deformation	Max 25.653 mm
